When the tradition of chocolate meets the fifty-year history of Amaro Francescano di Assisi, a specialty worth discovering is born.
Umbria, a region that loves chocolate
When people talk about chocolate in Italy, their thoughts inevitably turn to Umbria. This region has successfully transformed its passion for cacao into a true tradition, becoming a national hub for chocolate lovers.
From Perugia—home to the famous Bacio Perugina and Eurochocolate—to the many local chocolate makers in the region, chocolate represents a legacy of flavor, creativity, and culinary culture.
A tradition that continues to evolve, giving rise to new interpretations capable of surprising even the most curious palates.
And it is precisely from this spirit of innovation that a new specialty from Francescano di Assisi has emerged.
A new treat: Dark Chocolate Pralines with Amaro Francescano Cream
The big news is here: Dark Chocolate Pralines filled with cream flavored with Amaro Francescano 50th Anniversary.
A unique blend of two seemingly different yet remarkably complementary worlds: the bold character of dark chocolate and the aromatic complexity of a historic Italian bitter liqueur.
On the outside, the dark chocolate offers an intense and rich flavor. Inside, a creamy center flavored with Amaro Francescano adds a unique touch, making every bite a truly special experience.
A small chocolate, a big personality.
Fifty years of history encapsulated in a chocolate
Amaro Francescano di Assisi was founded in 1975, and in 2025 it celebrated its 50th anniversary with a new recipe, designed to reinterpret the traditional flavor in a contemporary way.
Today, this story continues through a culinary innovation project that extends the identity of Amaro Francescano beyond the world of liqueurs.
Following the Amaro Francescano-flavored Tozzetti from Assisi and the new food specialties, dark chocolate pralines are now also available.
The goal is simple: to transform the flavor of Amaro Francescano into new experiences that will win over even those who aren’t regular consumers of bitter liqueurs.
It’s not just about creating new products, but about carrying on a history that spans more than half a century, preserving its values while opening it up to new tastes and new ways to enjoy them.
Why does dark chocolate pair so well with bitter flavors?
The secret lies in balance.
Dark chocolate naturally has intense, toasty, and pleasantly bitter notes. Herbal bitters, on the other hand, are distinguished by their rich aromas, which can range from citrusy to herbaceous and spicy.
When these two worlds come together, they can create a particularly interesting harmony.
In the new Francescano pralines, the amaro-flavored cream complements the dark chocolate, creating a contrast between intensity and smoothness.
The result is a specialty designed for those who love refined flavors, but also for those who want to discover something new.
A little treat to enjoy and give as a gift
These new pralines are perfect for treating yourself to a delicious break, enjoying with a cup of coffee, or adding a touch of originality to the end of a dinner.
And for those who love unique pairings, why not try them with a small glass of Amaro Francescano?
E per chi ama gli abbinamenti particolari, perché non provarle insieme a un piccolo bicchiere di Amaro Francescano?
The liqueur’s aromatic notes echo those found in the cream, creating an interesting continuity of flavor.
But these pralines also make for a sophisticated gourmet gift, perfect for anyone who wants to take home a unique souvenir from Assisi and Umbria.
The 110-gram package is designed as a small gift, a special treat, or simply for the pleasure of discovering a new delicacy.
Assisi Embraces the Tradition of Umbrian Chocolate
With these pralines, Antica Valle Francescana continues its efforts to promote the Francescano brand, combining the historical heritage of Amaro di Assisi with contemporary culinary creativity.
A project that looks to the future without forgetting its roots.
Because tradition isn’t something to be preserved unchanged over time: it’s a heritage to be interpreted, enriched, and shared.
And when fifty years of history come together with one of Umbria’s most beloved confectionery traditions, the result can only be something special.
